Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum

I am tight.. tight... tight. Grrr. Trying to stick it out a bit longer to see if it will loosen a bit.

Still leary if this restriction will stick around. So far it is. Boy is it ever. Everything hurts when I eat. So tired of everything hurting and only being able to take a few bites before I am done done done.

Oh dear. How long ago did you have it?

Mini I had my fill on Thursday. I can get Soups and mushies down ok. I think I am just not chewing my first few bites well enough and am getting stuck because of it. Lot of chest pain so I don't want to eat any more.

New learning experience for me! If I can't improve things, I will move up my appointment and have a slight unfil.

That doesn't sound good. I've never had it that tight, but I hate it when my chest hurts.

I will join the VDay challenge. Put me down for 8lb. That is 2lbs a week from now until then. =)

That certainly sounds doable given your level of restriction.

I hate it too. I feel stuck though (pardon my pun)... if I go in for a slight unfil I am afraid I will be back at square 1, no restriction, leaky band. So I am going to tough it out for now. As long as I don't PB anymore... I figure I should be ok.

Well since I have been at the same weight for about 4 months... I am not counting on it! 8 pounds seems impossible. I am so sick of seeing 300.. 301... 300... 299... 302... 298... 300... 303... 301... 298

ARGH!

Yeah, that has to be sooo discouraging.

It's all good. I am feeling encouraged right now with the news that it is possibly not leaking again. haha. Hopefully this time that is true.

BTW... you are doing awesome on your weightloss! I would KILL to be 177! That is my secret goal weight! =)

Thanks!! I'm pretty happy about it too. I'm really hoping to reach my goal weight by summer so that I can have my plastics. Unfortunately it still hasn't made dent in my blood sugar. Weird, weird, weird.

I think you're probably a lot taller than me, so 177 will look lots better on you than it does on me! But at least I can shop in regular stores now and I love that.

Oooo shopping in regular stores. That would be so trippy! Enjoy it. You deserve it! =) I would love to have my pannus removed but am going to wait a bit longer. I want to lose more so maybe I can just have that done and forgo the whole TT thing.

Yeah, the pannus is a gross gross thing. Not so happy with my boobs right now either.

Yeah my boobs have always been lowriders. I am getting them done no matter what. My gift to myself for all this crap I have put my body through. Gift to hubby too I guess! haha.
